About PrintFactory
A unified cloud-based print production platform that replaces fragmented RIPs with a single workflow. It provides color management, prepress automation, job nesting, and production monitoring for large-format and digital printing environments.
PrintFactory is a unified print production platform designed to replace fragmented software stacks in large-format and digital printing environments. By consolidating RIP, color management, layout, and automation into a single cloud-based ecosystem, it helps print service providers reduce operational complexity and ink waste. The platform is hardware-agnostic, supporting over 3,500 printer and cutter drivers, and is built to be operating system independent, running on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Key capabilities include the VISU color engine for consistent color reproduction, EcoSave ink optimization, and rule-based workflow automation. PrintFactory is sold via a transparent per-printer SaaS subscription model, which includes unlimited users and free support for all connected devices. While it offers robust self-help resources, including eLearning and documentation, it also provides direct support channels and consultancy services for complex implementations. It is well-suited for print shops looking to standardize their production environment and improve profitability through better media and ink management.
